Some folks just enjoy trolling.

Shrug who knows. Maybe he thought GZ only meant to lay a hassle on him. Maybe he was thinking in a stand up fight he could take GZ? Maybe he was a bit stupid. We will never know because he is dead.

Smoke screening strategies do work in criminal trials.
The more boring details you readily acknowledge, it tend to disarm them, and they are forgotten as not material. Juries tend to give little credence to things not in contention, especially the way defense is delivering it.

Great explanation of falling forward BTW. This guy is deceivingly smart. Good lawyers are.

Not true. It's bad when people who have gz guilty misrepresent what phone friend said.

Wouldnt this mean that its possible Trayvon was being the agressor, despite your previous claims?
Clearly the

Well we are even then. Because I am still waiting for you to explain why it was so wrong for TM to walk down the street in America the land of the free.
You explained repeatedly that GZ broke no law in his harassment of TM. I agree he broke no law.
Will you agree that had GZ done what he was told to do that most likely no shooting would have happened?

Once again, who was RUNNING AWAY FROM HIM..

How does someone running away from you, represent a threat? I've asked this numerous times, you cant answer.. why not?
Oh REALLY?

Martin was running away when he was shot? Do you have some special insight to evidence that shows that he was shot in the back?

No one else was there that night. So far, none of the facts suggest murder, let alone first degree murder. If Trayvon wasnt white, and you couldnt call Zimmerman a "white" hispanic, would the media and liberals had even given a damn about this? Most of them wouldve have said much of anything about it.
Unless there is some bombshell evidence that the State has managed to keep secret so far, I hope he is found not guilty and can only imagine how the media/liberals are going to react.
